Ritchie Hollow Trail

Ritchie Hollow Trail

The Ritchie Hollow Trail is moderately strenuous, 2.2 miles out-and-back (4.4 miles round trip), with over 1,000 feet of elevation gain and passes a 30-foot waterfall called Blowing Wind Falls. The unique trail meanders through a mature hardwood forest and passes many historic moonshine stills. It is one of only a few trails that connect the Tennessee River with the Cumberland Trail system at the top of the mountain (more specifically the Pot Point Loop Trail).

The Trust wants to give the Chattanooga community more access to the beautiful lands in the River Gorge. By connecting more people to the outdoors, we can then build the capacity for community conservation. To understand the importance of conserving our wild lands you must first get to know them.
